Ripon Spa Hotel reopening date revealed
Ripon Spa Hotel is to reopen on October 16 with a new name and look.
The Inn Collection Group, which bought the property in June 2021, revealed the date today.
The historic Park Street hotel, which will be known as The Ripon Inn, has undergone a multi-million pound refurbishment.
The Northumberland-based owners, who have over 30 venues, market their properties as "inns with rooms" rather than hotels so the change is likely to be considerable.
With a strong emphasis on dining, the company hopes to attract local people as well as overnight guests.
The Inn Collection Group has already re-opened the St George Hotel in Harrogate and the Dower House in Knaresborough as The Harrogate Inn and The Knaresborough Inn respectively this year.

The Ripon venue will hold a VIP launch event on Thursday, October 12 before opening to the public on the following Monday.
The elegant Edwardian 40-bedroom Spa Hotel, which was in the ownership of the Hutchinson family for decades, opened a year after the nearby Spa Baths.
The two buildings, nestling alongside Spa Gardens and Spa Park, were key elements of Ripon’s stylish spa quarter.
